Inventive and versatile Sarah’s music is inspired by and crafted for each project. She collaborates with directors, lyricists , choreographers and writers and through a process of research, writing, rehearsals, recording and production creates fresh, ambitious and bespoke work.

She composes for, and records with, some exceptionally gifted and specialist musicians. Her work often weaves in subtle layers of electronics and experimental sound design.
